This Fiction Friday is important to me. Not just because it's a Sly and Tweety story and I love writing them because Sly is based off a friend of mine. It's also my late mother's birthday. If you have followed me long, you might recall that the loss was the reason I took a break … Continue reading Quiet Company For A Fiction Friday
